Hi and welcome! I'm Mamina Turegano, and I'm board certified in both dermatology and internal medicine. I currently reside in Los Angeles by way of New York, New Orleans, and Washington, DC. I'm a strong believer in taking a holistic approach to health. When evaluating skin disorders, I like to know any other medical problems you may be experiencing and address lifestyle factors. I also think it's important to have any suspicious lesions, growth, or moles evaluated sooner rather than later. I take pride in providing the best care and attention for my patients. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help!

Skin discoloration/darkening after an injury or inflammatory event can take as short as a week to as long as over a year to resolve.

Cold weather doesn't play a huge role in acne breakouts; however, it can play a role in causing dry skin which can lead to an eczema-like rash. In the summer, increased sweat production can lead to clogged pores & acne breakouts. If you are having acne in the winter, it can be triggered by stress, dietary changes, and timing of menstruation

It depends on how long you've had them and if you have anything similar on other parts of your body.

Also would want to know if you have any bleeding disorders. But from your description, these sound like angiokeratomas of the scrotum, which are completely benign. I would recommend evaluation by a dermatologist for confirmation.
